Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BF.2ADIAE/1178.1 Message Board Post: Shana, I've looked at all your posts, and the only problem I see with them is missing spaces between some sentences. Normally, I don't like to see lots of empty lines within posts, but why not try putting an empty line between paragrahs, instead of just a return? It seems that the board system is ignoring your keyboar

I agree, I don't think the system always recognizes the space key after some sentences or a period. I tried to double space between the paragraphs, but it still comes out the same.I'll do my best. Any other tips? Thanks, Shana

So be a bit patient if you have not waited that long for the notices to stop. If that doesn't work you may have added the board to My Notifications under a different account than the one you are going to in your attempt to unsub.

It doesn't. They will never find it buried in the Subject line unless they do an EVERY WORD search. If I'm looking for COUSIN, COUSINS I'm NOT going to do an every word search I'm going to do a surname box only search.

Thanks Lynn, Joan and Mary. Joan, I think you understood, but I may not have explained myself clearly......it looks like the poster clicked "Reply" on their own incomplete post, so that's why I used the term "reply"and I suppose that's why it was connected. Should I then click on "Move Message" and then repost it back on my own board? Marilyn --------------------original message-------------------- In a message dated 5/3/2006 4:20:46 P.M.

Diana, I remove such messages with no genealogical content, also. However, I have to agree with Joan Young about surname spelling variations in the surname indexing line. Actual surnames not mentioned in the body of the message are removed, but not variations. Valorie On Friday 26 May 2006 11:21 am, Diana Smith wrote: > Thanks for all the comments.

21. Re: [BAd] Getting To The First Page [0.978882]
I guess with links one could sit one day on each board, switch the row# to whatever high number and then click, click, click (still clicking :-)..... and get to the oldest message (e.g. message#1 on page #1), and save that link too ( like George suggested for getting to the most "current" page). Personally I don't use the links like George suggested. I just keep track of the last post I cleaned and change the URL row# once I get onto the Board (I do keep the Board links to the most current message). A
22. Board User Comments [0.978882]
What is the best way, if any, to answer a board user who is unhappy with the gateway being open? Has anyone else encountered this? This person had very legitimate complaints regarding how gatewayed posts are not answered on the board and he has to search the list archives for answers. I've been trying hard to educate my list subscribers, but I'm human and I can't catch everything. He made a few disparaging remarks regarding how I run the list, which I decided to ignore since I understand that he is

25. The message boards are getting even better . . . [0.978882]
Now that the ad saying "The message boards are getting even better . . . " is being splashed across the screen, I wonder if anyone has any idea if the message board rules will change. I'd hate to send an e-mail to a board poster letting them know that "Only surnames (last names) should be listed in the Surname Box, and each should be separated by a comma" or "Data categories (non-query) should only be selected when you are posting actual data and not queries about data" or even "click on the post an
